So, we went for a brunch today 4/07 and the experience was horrible. For starters I will say and want to make perfectly clear, that our server (whos name is "roach" on the reciept) was great. She was the best part of our entire experience.So, we went online to check in on the virtual wait list. It said it was approximately a 1½ hr wait. We headed up around 1:15 let them know we were there. The gentleman at the host desk was friendly and said we were next and would be seated shortly. So we waited there within earshot with everyone. Some woman (who we will hear more from later) came up and seated 3 other couples. We thought maybe they were online check-ins as well so maybe they were ahead of us. The same guy who we had originally spoke to came up and called a 4th couple. So we walked up and asked what happened. He looked and said "you still haven't been seated? That he rremembered us and wasn't sure why our name was no longer on the wait list at all." He apologized and immediately sat us.So we are now seated and ordering. We selected our dishes, she got the shrimp and grits with a side of toast bread. I got the pick 2 ½ ham and cheese sandwich with a ½ salad. We also got an order of doughnut holes to share.Food comes out in a respectable time brought out by a different server. We both start eating, as she takes a bite into her toast she gags noticing a patch of mold on the bread. I ask our server if I can see a manager just to tell them to get rid of the bread. So the GM (same lady who had passed up our name on the waitlist) comes and asks what the problem is. I explain and show her the mold. She said she would take care of it.* note: Our table is closest to the kitchen exit so I can see straight in. I see the GM go in, grab a cambro, pop off the lid, and look in at the sliced bread. She shakes it around, reached in, grabbed a few pieces of bread and throws them away, and out of the same cambro grabs another piece and throws it in the toaster. Seeing this, I immediately tell my feiancee not to eat whatever she brings out.So this GM brings out a "fresh" toasted piece of bread and sets it on the table . My feiancee looks down and there is mold on this piece too. So I call our server back over and tell her to take it away and we don't want any more.It'd be different if I didn't just watch her cherry pick through a container to throw some away and pick a "suitable" piece. So GM comes back and says that she'd talk to the distributor. Lady, I've owned 2 restaurants and was the executive chef over them both. Distributors don't send moldy bread. Anyway, she said she'd take the shrimp and grits off the tab. Great, fine. But after you personally brought us spoiled food for the second time, you should have taken responsibility and done something more.At this point my, my feiancee has lost her appetite and my blood is boiling so we just decide to leave. As we walk up to the counter to pay the cashier asked how our meal was, we told her bad. We explained what happened and she insisted on talking to mngmt. We told her not to bother, we just spoke to her. She said there's someone else to talk to. Well... you guessed it. Here she comes.So she walked up and said "she said you watched me grab bread from the container, it was a different one, i told you I threw it away. I already took off your shrimp and grits, so I'll give you another $5 off." I told her, i watched her grab a piece out of the same cambro that she'd just thrown bad pieces away out of. She was stuck on the fact of thinking i was saying it was the same container as the origional piece. I dont care where it came from. If you saw one bad piece in that cambro, the whole container is trash. It is all cross contaminated.So, she's standing there arguing with me infront of a whole line of customers about serving spoiled food. I litterally watched you. It's not about the money off. I honestly just want whoever is above this GM to know what kind of food quality an

I had heard many times that this place was a MUST try. Waltzed in on a Saturday morning at 9:00am. The hostess was smiling and welcomed us and seated us right away. The place was very busy. But I continuously heard servers happy and willingly helping any and all tables out. Even if they weren’t their tables. They were all so polite and truly acted like a team. We were lucky enough to have Roddie as our server. She lit up the room with her beautiful smile and her happy demeanor. I even witnessed another table give her rave reviews and speak so highly of their experience. Way to go Roddie, team and First Watch! We will be back!!

My wife and I have been frequent customers at this establishment, often coming in for breakfast after our late shifts. However, our recent experience has left us deeply disappointed. Despite being seated promptly by the host, we were completely ignored by our waiter for the entirety of our visit.To make matters worse, another couple, seated after us, received immediate attention and had their order taken promptly. Despite attempting to get the waiter's attention, we were consistently overlooked.Feeling unwelcome and unappreciated, my wife and I made the difficult decision to leave. It's disheartening to be treated in such a manner, especially as loyal patrons.Regrettably, we will not be returning to this location. We hope management takes note of our experience and implements measures to ensure all customers are treated with the respect and attention they deserve.

This place was soooo good! Food was out fast and it was super delicious. I had the parma breakfast skillet and everything about it was perfection. staff was polite and helpful also! Will definitely be back and will also reccomend others. For myself it was a generous portion and I had water. It was 15$ and some change.
This is a go-to breakfast spot for the gals and me. We're never disappointed: food and presentation and portion sizes are great; service is decent to excellent with friendly staff all-round.Have NOT noticed a huge jump in prices over past few years, if any! Unheard of! EXCEPT, now that i think about it, the Olivette Diner, which is always great. Still, we choose First Watch bc we know the menu better.I gave Atmosphere 4☆s bc the acoustics arent all that great (noisy). But always a good temp, and clean.Easy parking.

First Watch aka Home of the Raw Potato!After being a regular customer for years I don't think I'll ever eat at any of their locations again. When it first came out, no one compared to their food in my opinion. Food was always great and came out fast. But now the food is mediocre, over priced but still comes out fast as ever. And I think it's because their priority is to get you out and get the next table in as fast as possible. Profit is the priority, not good food and service anymore. Which is very unfortunate. Everyone I know gave up on this place a year or two ago, and it was me that was always beg them to come with me. Until my last 4-5 visits with 3 different locations, and it's always the same. We know refer to this place as the home of the Raw Potato. You can only get them burnt, or raw. I've been on the busiest days so many times, and 10 mins after I order here comes my food (which is usually a great thing) but the million dollar bacon I got was just well done bacon with syrup on it (upcharged for no reason), and the potatoes were so hard on the inside. I have told them multiple times I don't mind waiting longer to have my food cooked how it should be. But they don't care they wanna get you out and get the next table sat. So you can poorly cooked food because of it. It's way too expensive for all that! And I've never, never seen a manager walking around or had a manger ask us how our food is? You can tell the cashier when you leave about how bad your food is, and they'll "say sorry to hear that, that'll be $54.86" lol. This place went down hill fast. Plenty of other options out there if ya don't wanna make breakfast at home. But this place needs to quit ripping people off and hiding from being help accountable for it. Look how pale the potatoes are in my picture, they weren't even cooked hardly. Over $50 for two people and all I enjoyed was my waffle soda and the eggs kind of. Never got to speak to a manager..
